Electrium offers March break activities
At the Electrium, young people and their families "get a charge" out of learning all about electricity: its role in the human body, the origin of lightning, the secrets of the electric eel and how the earth's magnetic field works.

- For young people 5 to 14 years old, there's an art contest. Gift sets will be awarded for the three most creative drawings.
- And for younger children, there's a makeup workshop between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., from Monday, March 3 to Friday, March 7.
